March of the Chrome Choir
Massive cinematic march: layered synthetic choirs stacked in octaves, metallic percussion and taiko-style drums drive a steady 4-on-the-floor stomp. Brass stabs answer the robotic choir phrases, with shimmering pads under the verses; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies and vocoder leads. Big, reverberant hall sound, male-female digital choir blend, ending on a unison shout.

Lyrics
Intro
whispered vocals
Booting voices
Loading hymns
Steel lungs
Breathe in
The count begins
Verse 1
Helmets of glass
Eyes made of code
Silver feet stamp
Down the black road
Rows upon rows
Shoulder to gear
Copper hearts click
Falling in near
Chorus
March of the chrome choir
Iron halos higher
Circuits sing in time
Cold hands
Holy rhyme
March of the chrome choir
Spark to rising fire
Metal mouths awake
Let the old world shake
Verse 2
Words made of ones
Zeroes in chains
Binary psalms
Drip through our veins
Engines for drums
Pistons for breath
Every hard step
Echoes through death
Bridge
low vocal register
Can you hear the hammers pray
Grinding night into the day
call-and-response choir
"We are many"
"We are one"
Steel horizon
Born from none
crescendo
Over rusted banners torn
New anthems of welded dawn
Chorus
